views of his constituents?" Ex

Susan Hackman: "The Student
Opinion Bureau has a definite
purpose because it is impossible
and impractical for congressmen
to talk to each individual in his
Constituency and get, an unbiased
opinion."
Janet Jeffries: "It is very dif
ficult to find out the opinion of
every individual student, so stu
dent government would be much
more effective - with the Student
Opinion Bureau in-operation."
Jay Levy: "Thok. - Btlident Opin
ion Bureau is Igloo& idea and
should be tried out.: Once the
results! have 'been tabulated, a
congressman can then go back to
his area and Old out the opinions
of his - donstituents."
Margaret McDowell: "I think • it
would be a good idea to try using
the Student Opinion Bureau fo'r
an upcoming issue in USG and see
how it works."

Cuban Exiles
20 Killed in
MIAMI. Fla. (R) An exile
group reported yesterday it had
raided the northern coast of Cuba
early Monday, killing 20 persons.
There was immediate speculation
as to whether the action affected
touchy negotiations for release of
last year's invasion prisoners.
The exile organization, which
calls itself Alpha 66, said the raid
was made at 12:20 a.m. on the
port of Isabella de Sagua, 150
miles east of Havana. -
It said the principal objective
was a camp of Cuban militiamen
and Soviet"military men protected
by numerous trenches and power
ful lights.
An Alpha 66 report on the ac
tion, termed a "war communi
que," said in part:
t . "THE BATTLE ended at 2:12
4.1 n. in the railroad yards of the
city, A warehouse of
.military
supplies and four other strategic
points were destroyed, marry" wea
pons and some flags of the enemy
were captured.,
"No fewer than 20 enemy were
killed." •

THIS REPORT and other de

what already was a cloudy situ

release of 1,113 Cubans raptured
during the abortive Bay of Pigs
invasion in April 1961.
Thousands of Cuban exiles in
Florida waited anxiously but with
hopes mounting hourly for word
concerning - the progress of talks
between New York lawyer James
B. Donovan and Cuban Prime
Minister Fidel Castro.
In Havana, Donovan was told
to stand by yesterday to meet
Castro in what could t be final
talks.
The meeting of the U.S. nego

has reported in previous speeches,
is that the people in industry feel
very strongly that the Pennsyl
vania government has not been
very friendly towards them even
though the business tax situation
in the state has improved.
To remedy this situation, Scran
ton proposes to expand the Penn
sylvania Industrial Development
Act and seek more help through
the Federal Redevelopment Act.
• In the field of education Scran
ton has priiposed that if changes
must be made in the school sys
tems to meet the rising academic
standards of today, no laws or
customs will prevent him from
making the necessary changes.

DONOVAN HAS emphasized
that he is Retlng in a private
rapacity for relatives of the pris
oners. Attorney-General Robert F.
Kennedy has denied reports that
he assigned Donovan to the nego
tiator's rote. This report had
appeared in The New York World-
Telegram and Sun.
Sources in Washington report
that the United States govern
ment has agreed to. underwrite
part of the payment required for
the release of Cuban invasion
prisoners. The sources say the
United States is willing to• under
write the shipment of about 313
million worth of medicine and
food to Cuba.
On Capital Hill it was learned
today that about 's3 million
already appropriated by Congress
could be used for the government
part'of payments. An argument
was reported over whether an
additional $lO million could come
from funds of the Central Intel
ligence Agency or whether Con
gress should be asked to appropri
ate it directly.
The Miami News said it had
learned that If a rescue airlift
by Pan American World Airways
planes was begun by today. the
aircraft would land under maxi
mum security at the Homestead
Air Force Base, with the public
barred from the vicinity.
Should the landings take place
at a less-guarded airport, offi
cials have said, as many as 150,000
persons could be expected, creat
ing scenes of wild excitement.
